Bar Max App Review ... Well sort of ...
Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at 7:00AM 
We have a new most expensive app in the app store ... I feel like we need to have a bell warning us of this new winner. Unfortunately, we have not been sent a redeem code to review this app and we will not be taking any law exam any time soon.
The reason I wanted to bring this to the IEAR community is really to point out that we continue to see lots of change because of the portability of the device, the ability for apps to contain vast amounts of information and because apps can provide multiple modes of information delivery. This is all very important when considering the value of an app and these devices.
Here is a little more about the app. What do you think? Do apps like this tell us anything about the future of learning or the future of these devices themselves?

As the app store matures and mobile devices are more defined in education, the sophistication of apps for learnning will be the issue. This app is a great example of a developer working hard to bring to market a well thought learning tool. I am confident that more apps like this are soon to follow.
